Disney They Drew as They Pleased HC Vol 01

Disney They Drew as They Pleased, the inaugural volume in a revealing series that surveys the studio's largely overlooked concept artists. Didier Ghez guides readers through the careers of four early pioneers who shaped the look of some of Disney's most enduring classics. The book collects artwork conceived for 1930s shorts and for beloved features such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio, along with early designs for Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Rich biographical material expands understanding of how these artists brainstormed, collaborated, and pushed boundaries behind the scenes. With largely unpublished pieces drawn from the Walt Disney Archives and the Disney Animation Research Library, the volume offers a rare window into the studio's formative years and the creative experiments that sparked the studio's golden age.
